    I knew of a guy took barrels out of a corvair engine offset ground the vw crank for small journal Chevrolet rods and made a big bore stroker engine. Produce quite usually the Chevrolet rods are longer for the torque.

    Your videos and parts are honestly so so nice. I can find anything I need on your website then watch your videos to learn how to put it on!

      Once the 2 shims are inside the engine case, the distributor drive gear can be slid in. Then install your distributor (with the cap removed) and rotate the rotor until it points in the correct direction for the #1 Cylinder. For Type 1 and 2 engines, #1 will be pointing towards the rear right of the engine (or 4 to 5 o’clock). For Type 3 engines the rotor will point towards the front left of the engine (or 8 to 9 o’clock). We only mentioned the differences for the original distributor versus the aftermarket distributor as the positions would be 180 degrees opposite.

    Hey Sam your videos are awesome!! Does Gaskacinch now work around the case nuts instead of aviation sealer? Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video series! Trev.

    What happened to the break in lube for the camshaft lobes????

    • @JBugsVWParts
      @JBugsVWParts  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We used Lucas Oil Assembly lube generously throughout the engine during the build. We find it negates the need for “special” cam lube but you can use your experiences and preferences to build to your methods.

    • @JBugsVWParts
      @JBugsVWParts  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can search “Gasgacinch alternative” and come up with a few alternatives. The only other thing we’ve personally used besides the Gasgacinch is Yamabond, but we still prefer the Gasgacinch.

    Can i install the 2 shims of the distributor after closing the case?

    • @JBugsVWParts
      @JBugsVWParts  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes they can. That being said, it is much easier to ensure that the distributor timing gear is correctly installed by setting it in place before the crank is dropped in.

    Is the same torque used for a stroker engine?

    • @JBugsVWParts
      @JBugsVWParts  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, regardless of the crank (we actually use a 74mm stroke crank in this engine) the case torque is the same.

    wouldn't the aviation permatex on the case bolts change the K value for torque?

    • @Sam_Mebane
      @Sam_Mebane 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Maybe, but that is what VW did. We figure they knew what they were doing when they set the torque values so we just follow what they recommended.

      @@BasedBidoof No problem, our engine was dirty but even after cleaning we could see staining on the block from the original sealant. You can see a streak below the center lower main studat the 6:00 minute mark. That was from VW. When we were doing the live filming, I even narrate that bit saying how you could see the drips from the factory sealant. You can see as I point to it in the video.

    • @JBugsVWParts
      @JBugsVWParts  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It can be, yes. It does tend to be a bit thicker than GasGaCynch so we prefer it over the aviation sealer on the case halves.

      I started on VW's at age 14 and eventually built engines for several shops then had my own shop doing mostly engine rebuilds . Aviation 3D Permatex is Great and what I started with but later went with GasGacench on the case halves, silicone on the oil pump mounting gasket ( NO sealer on the oil pump cover gasket - only engine oil rubbed on the cover and pump flange) then use the Aviation 3D on the pushrod tube seals - be sure to have the seam on the tubes up so no chance of oil leak if the tube splits at seam.
